Your 2007-08 Siena roster

I received word from Siena today that the men’s basketball roster is now complete and updated with new heights and weights. These, I’m told, were recorded Tuesday night by Siena’s strength and conditioning coach.

I compared this roster with last year’s and came up with the following changes:

* Tay Fisher lost six pounds.
* Josh Duell gained five pounds.
* Erik Harris, a walk-on, gained 13 pounds. You won’t see him in too many games, but make no mistake — a guy who is 6-foot-9, 223 pounds is a valuable practice commodity.
* James Carr gained seven pounds.
* Edwin Ubiles gained five pouns.
* Moore grew an inch and gained a pound.

Of course, just using weight gain and loss is an not necessarily a great way to judge a player’s conditioning. For instance, Josh Duell, who I’ve seen around campus since the end of last season, looks trimmer, despite the scale saying he gained five pounds.

Coaches will have a better idea where these guys stand starting Thursday, when group workouts begin.

Lastly, note the abscence of walk-ons Justin Maxwell and Mick Doemel. Maxwell, who went to Guilderland High, and Doemell, a Christian Brothers Academy product, won’t be back this year.

Did anyone notice that in addition to Moore growing an inch, Carr shrank 1/2 an inch and Magee and Ubiles each shrank an inch since last season? Additionally, freshman Steven Priestly has shrunk two inches from his listed 6’7 in high school. He now stands just 6’5. I can see players weights going up and down, but how are they shrinking?
